Quantization and entropy of black holes

TL;DR

This paper investigates the quantization and entropy of black holes within loop quantum gravity but was withdrawn due to a critical error in the derivation.

Contribution

The paper aimed to connect black hole area quantization with entropy maximization in loop quantum gravity, proposing a specific spectrum for the area operator.

Findings

The spectrum was derived under the assumption of maximum entropy.

The derivation contained a crucial error leading to withdrawal.

The approach attempted to link quantum geometry with thermodynamic properties.

Abstract

The spectrum of the area operator for a Schwarzschild black hole in loop quantum gravity is fixed by the demand that the entropy of a black hole is maximum. This paper has been withdrawn by the author, due a crucial error in the derivation.
